Z : 184 Seiten mit 150 farbigen Abbildungen - Lampen, Möbel, Fahrräder, Typografien, Museumssockel das Schaffen von Mathieu Mercier, dem 1970 in Conflans-Saint-Honorine geborenen und in Paris lebenden Preisträger des Prix Marcel Duchamp (2003), bewegt sich souverän zwischen Kunst und Alltagskultur. Dabei greift er immer wieder auf das Werk seiner Heroen Marcel Duchamp oder Piet Mondrian zurück. Mathieu Mercier will aber keine unzugängliche Kunst machen, sondern Werke, die »auf Anhieb erst einmal deskriptiv und anziehend« sind. Die banalen Alltagsgegenstände, die er in Szene setzt, sind tatsächlich zunächst einfach nur schön. Mercier spricht diesbezüglich von »Sublimierung«, von einem Veredlungsprozess, der die Gegenstände auf eine höhere Ebene führt. Diese gezielte Delozierung, der permanente Tausch zwischen High und Low, stellt die Frage nach dem Status der Dinge zwischen Funktionalität und künstlerischer Zweckfreiheit. So reflektiert Mathieu Mercier gekonnt die Begrifflichkeiten der westlichen Kultur des 20. Jahrhunderts im Spannungsfeld von moderner Architektur, Design und bildender Kunst.…

Lamps, furniture, bicycles, typography, museum pedestals--the work of Mathieu Mercier, winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp (2003), born 1970 in Conflans-Saint-Honorine, and now living in Paris, moves confidently between art and everyday culture. He keeps referring back to the work of his heroes Marcel Duchamp and Piet Mondrian. Yet, Mathieu Mercier does not want to make inaccessible art, but works that are »instantly descriptive and attractive«. The banal everyday objects he presents are indeed at first simply beautiful. Mercier speaks in this regard of »sublimation«, of a finishing process that guides the objects to a higher level. The targeted change of position, the permanent exchange between high and low, raises the question as to the status of things between functionality and artistic purposelessness. Mathieu Mercier skillfully reflects the concepts of Western culture of the 20th century in the field of tension between modern architecture, design and visual arts.

He also had exhibitions 2007 in Paris at Musée d'art moderne de la vielle de Paris, and 2008 at Kunsthalle Nuremberg.
